Mobile routers are INCREDIBLY useful and on the face of it, the D-Link DWR-2101 WiFi 6 and 5G Network router is just insane! Whether you are on the commute, on a business trip, on holiday or simply just looking for a much more wire-free internet experience in your home/office, mobile routers have come a LONG way in 2021. Thanks to innovations in network technology and cellular data coverage worldwide, we have reached a point where a lot of these battery-powered portable routers are better than ALOT of desktop-wired routers. However, the majority of these mobile routers always seem to fall a little flat in their execution. Sometimes it is an efficiency issue (designed for battery power = gonna limit consumption), other times it is a connection issue (i.e RJ45 LAN as well as wireless), but in the case of the DLink DWR-2102 Mobile Router, it just seems almost too good to be true. Featuring the latest WiFi 6 (aka 802.11ax or WiFiAX) support for greater than gigabit wireless connectivity, 5G Mobile Data coverage (so 1.6Gb/s or 160MB/s data), physically LAN connectivity, more than half a day battery life and an LCD display - there is ALOT to like. However, where have their compromises fallen? Has this device had to cut corners? And is it as good as it sounds? Let's find out in today's DWR-2101 D-Link Mobile Router Review.

Probably worth mentioning that the nighthawk router in the video can be plugged in with the battery removed completely and still operate as normal, eliminating issue with battery heat
1:55 2.4 is not smaller wavelength but frequency, lower frequency means longer waves, bigger wavelength. But yes higher frequency means higher speed, although much more sensitive to obstructions. This is why modern phones still support GSM frequencies. From a basement, or a tunnel, only those long wave or low frequency can pass through thick walls.
WOW Probably the best video I have view for advice on sim routers. Thank you and now to read your reviews to help me choose the best one ✅
The 'Problem' is that people have started calling 5GHz WiFi '5G' instead of "5GHz", making it impossible to discern with '5G' LTE Cellular Wireless. Drives me MAD when trying to search for SIM enabled Modem/Routers!
we live in the age of misinformation unfortunately
I agree, I'm facing same problem now
Rubbish. The tech specs of any router DO NOT confuse 5G with 5Ghz, though ill informed shoppers might. That's not the manufacturer's problem.
@onlygirls7232 we also live in an age where few are willing to do a little research. Misinformation can be filtered out as noise, if and when one raises their competencies. If the number has a ghz after it, its talking about the wifi. Most people just want to browse the web and stream stuff. Get a cheap one and test the service providers signal and speeds before spanking loads on high end one. If the signal is rats from the supplier, it won’t matter how good it is...
I've been using a three 5g router for nearly a year. Works perfect. I did have virgin media, which was verging on the ridiculous.
Why haven’t you made a video on the best sim routers? Would be nice if you did one and categorised them e.g. best budget, best performance, best overall
This
Also do this.
@@PhonePhreak3z and do that to😆
Thank you for the information, still considering the Nighthawk vs the other one you mention because I need something pocket friendly for traveling.
You have really helped me! Thanks! (I was wondering if the antennae were for Wifi or 4G signals... as I need to put an antennae outside due to weak signal..)
Looking at the video, was helpful but still looking for a direction to go in. Live in a van for work, an would like a SIM router. What would you suggest, for my TV an phone so I can avoid tethered.
Thanks Chris
If you like being an outsider, you'll love the Turris Omnia. A rather specialist (and expensive) bit of kit. Word is that its successor, the new Turris Omnia Enterprise, will be out this month (Sept 2023). Yes SFP+ 10G transceivers will work in it. Plus... a total of eight antennae! What!
Specs:
NXP LS2080 ARMv8 octa-core CPU
- 3× M.2 slots - 1× Wi-Fi, 1x NVME, 1× modem
- Dual slot RAM up to 64 GB
- 5× SFP interface, 1× GbE interface
- 2× USB 3.0
intelligent people have the ability to explain the most difficult subjects clearly and simply. just putting it out there
Nice video. Thanks. A question though - if I use that tp link sim router to the failover connection of my Asus why should it not work? Main wired connection to the WAN port and this to the LAN port which Asus uses for failover.
I have a netgear M1 , and solar panel and battery to run it on a boat. I would like to run a solar camera or something similar to have live viewing and motion detection . That wouldn’t eat data like crazy.
The external antennas on my Sercomm LTE2122GR 4G router are for the home WIFI and not for picking up the 4G mast signal, so don't assume that all routers are the same. The 4G antenna is internal on this router
Please cover the public CB Internet project that's available now to all, thanks!
Hi. I found your video very informative and got me thinking. I have family in Latin America and we’re also planning a trip to London in the summer. We’re traveling with others to London. Sims are so pervasive and cheap that I was thinking of buying a sim based hotspot that I could just load up with a sim wherever I go. What are good low cost and effective options for use with London sims or Latin American sims? Thanks mate!
Great info
Thank you so much for the information man!!
I want to use a fixed sim router as my main house internet router when I’m away and have small data need, and fall back to another sim router which I use camping and has unlimited data plan. I’m happy with 4G as 5G isn’t as available in rural areas. Device options and a video on how to set it all up please
Hi, I'm a mobile mechanic working all over the country, I use a dongle to access WiFi on my laptop. It can be a head ache at times.
As I have diagnostic machines that also use WiFi to access vehicle entry. What router would you recommend for hardwired ethernet, working remotely often in harsh conditions and also running a desktop in the back of the mobile van to use and access online data ?? Help please..
Note: I can run external anttenas and also have 240v system in the van. Any recommendations please ?
What’s the best way of tracking your data usage with these ?? More to the point can you do it with the mc888
Can i ask, would one of these be better than mobile phone tethering thanks
Thanks for review. Do you have any knowlage or opinion about Modem ZTE MU5002 ?? I looking something for livestreaming on the go, sometimes at festivals so nice to have banding
Hey, I'm checking that ZTE 5002...is it good in your opinion? If you bought that one of course:)
Can I use my mobile sim with the current monthly plan in this router?
2.4 actually has a longer wavelength than 5ghz, but yes it carries less data due to the frequency.
Got my dad a second hand Huawei b311 4g router (£17 eBay). He was getting ripped by Plusnet, charging him £30 per month for ADSL which was giving speeds of 1.0 download, 0.2 upload.
Got him smarty SIM £12 per month for 120gb , he's only a light user - bit of browsing, emails, streams the odd program etc.
Gets 20mb down, 8 upload now.
I was a good move cutting the cord on these rip off ISP's.
Hello I need your help, what's the best router to get better signal for SIMCARD
Perfect video
Hey i just signed to 5g plan limited with 25mbit download speed, do i need 5g router or will be enough simple LTE router ?
As of now what lte router would you recommend for an old granfathered Verizon unlimited data plan?
What is your opinion on the Cudy 5g NR AX3000 WI-FI 6 Router
Help im living in a good 4 g area in wales SA19 area but no landlines ...what are the five top sim hubs i should be looking for .. please help
It would have been helpful to list any or all routers that meet all of these standards... better still if they were ranked by price. If you can't do that, maybe you could signpost a place that does.
If I put my phone on e-sim and plug my physical sim into a router, will it work?
My area only still support 4g, open to any rec on router as well, thanks
Thank you very much for this info.
I'm in the US and even worse, on a Verizon network so I'm extremely limited as to what sim rougher I could even buy atm.
I'm legit just letting my main phone burn as a network provider for now and it aint done any favors for it :(.
Didn't seems you talked in this video, I have had multiple sim router but all of them had terrible WiFi coverage in my flat, is there a rating for this spec? Of just need to check the dBm (have no idea of what is this actually)
Hi, some 4g lte sim routers have a 'Tel' connection so you can make calls (if sim enabled),. Do you know wheteher these would stop working when 3G turns off.
Hi. I'm looking for a 4G Advanced sim router that plugs in the mains (No Battery) that will be on 24/7 Can anyone advise on the best one to go for? Thank you.
Anyone know if the tplink Archer Mr200 or 400 is compatible with Deco P9 Mesh devices?
6:19
Tell me if I'm wrong but I'm 100% certain 1000Mbit is 125MByte as a byte is 8 bits
OK, just started looking at these, so which one does all that?
I couldnt make out which one he recommended at the end. Could someone help please? Thank you.
Is it true if a simcard router has plenty of frequency band on the specs , then it has the potential to connect to different country 4G and 5G signal?
are they better than usb tethering
for ms
Hello, 14:56 what router failover dual sim? D-Link DWM-313 4G LTE example? thx
I found this video really interesting, so much to consider when buying a router. If I buy a normal 4/5G data only sim, will I be able to put it into any router?
From what I have found in the US. CDMA wont work in "most" sim routers, GSM is most "common" over here. Idk for other places :( sorry.
Would be best to call your provider and ask what style network they use I think and what band channels if they wont give you a clear response cuz you can always look up supported band channels on sim routers, then look for something that supports it and is "unlocked" I think.
Example: Cellular Frequency Band 4G-LTE-FDD:B2/B4/B5/B12/B13/B14/B66/B71; 3G-WCDMA:B2/B4/B5 (First US T-mobile/At&T cheap sim router I could find on amazon)
From what I find on amazon for "outside the US" are all GSM but use example above if there has not already been a new video made to get to this question. (This is my first video from this channel)
Help heeeeeeelp !
Ok I say in premier inns a lot and the WiFi is total pants !
What 4/5 g sim router would you advise to get thanks
Is it better, I am going to spain should I get a sim router in spain and get a pay as you go dim with data.
how about increasing the signal strength of my phone and I usb tether it to my laptop?
Always determine exactly what you need. Don't buy 5G internet now - it's not ready for big time yet. Just how much data do you want to consume and at what rate? That's the question to ask yourself BEFORE you get another SIM router.
Just wait for the tech to improve and watch the prices drop. Right now it's just a Rip off, unless you really NEED ( OK, or want ) the 5G over the air.
Spend money on MIMO ( 2 x 2 OR 4 x 4 ) if you must. 4G+ is also ok.
There are quite a few routers like the tplink MR600 that provide more than enough for most people for the next few years - unless you suddenly develop a great itch for massive speed.
I installed Peplink BR series
I presently use my iPhone (T-Mobile) for watching Netflix when I'm camping a few days every month. I don't like tying up my cell phone "HotSpot' when I walk away from the campsite with my phone and then the networks drops when my wife is still watching Netflix. I just ordered a 5g sims card from T-Mobile for $20 a month with unlimited data. I want to buy a cheap cellular router it doesn't;t have to do 5g but 4LTE is ok. What is some of the best cheap cellular routers on the market? It's just me and my wife with our 2 cell phones and a laptop. is there any $100 to $200 price range cellular routers that will take a sims card?
Can you answer my question ? -: my mobile data speed at the house is 55mbps ish...... If I buy a good good sim router am I likely to get more speed than my mobile ? and If so what sort of speed (My sim will be up to 300mbps) ? Thanks
Most important is buying a 4G Router to have LAN ports, preferably 4. Furthermore unlimited Wifi connections or at least 32. More and more appliances have wifi and you wanna have them connected all. Doorbells, wall socket power meters, cell phones, washingmachines, PC's and Laptops etc. etc.
Currently using a Huawei CPE pro 2. Slows down drastically to around 250mbps during peak times.
what provided are you using for the sim?
@@SamVeneman currently on a three business sim deal
I just made my internet better by changing to 5 mega thanks
What brand and model is the large white 5g router on the table?
I have the Nokia paper towel roll router with my 5G connection. It has both bands, 4 LAN ports & I get about 330mbps+ currently. Australia's 5G isn't the best at the moment, but it's better than our NBN(fibre, HFC & FTTC) for speed & reliability. I can stream 4K 60fps no problems & downloading 100GB takes only a couple hours.
Is that the Optus one? Mines arriving anyday now and Im going to trial it vs my existing telstra nbn wired connection.
@@TheStaniG yeah it's the one Optus & Vodafone use. I'm with Optus myself on the unlocked speed plan.
Would love a review of the M4 nighthawk but better get saving your pennies 😂
actually 2.4 it's a longer wavelength, which is why it's a lower freq.
Was going to say the same, you said it for me.
Which is better lol I’m thick
Does any one know about a portable (with a battery) SIM Router that can also be configured as a VPN client (OpenVPN)?
Is it time to update this YT? But your information is huge!
What an absolute nightmare🥵I am looking to fit a wifi system in my campervan and have been looking at different account on You Tube, so confusing!
All I need is the capability to use my smart TV, laptop and mobile phone, nothing more but which system i.e router, antenna do I use, any suggestions?
also SIM contracts, I don't want to pay a monthly figure but want a roll over for what I don't use? Please help🥴
Which sim card router has the best range?
I am about to buy a 5g wireless sim router to have internet tv in a static caravan with no wired internet, I can’t hotspot off my phone to the tv. A new Vodafone 5g mast about to go live very nearby, so glad I watched this video as I am bamboozled by all the router options on the web.
If i get a usb one can i receive phone calls on my Asus ROG ally?
If I get my phone sim which is 5G, and connect to a 5G modem/router will it work ? Or will it be like a hotspot which has limited data and speed?
I tested my ZTE 5G router with my iPhone SIM card. Worked perfectly.
how about dual sim that doubles the bandwitdth???
I’ve just bought a tp-link AC1200 and put a Gifgaff sim in it. Didn’t work so I tried my O2 phone sim and that works. So much for plug and play.
I want to move away from contracted broadband provider and just have a sim only router. I can buy a SIM card for £10 with unlimited data so Is it worth buying a sim only router and have an unlimited data sim?
Can I use one of the routers with a SIM card slot outside the U.S. like in Mexico with a local Mexico SIM card?
Yes
If it has single Ethernet port, can you not expand it using an unmanageable switch?
Yes
Thank you for this video. I am planning to move into UK next year like many Hongkongers. Consider getting an LTE/5G router for the period during my home internet contract ends in HK, traveling via Netherlands and UK temporary home. Maybe get an EE 5G data SIM as 'permanent' home internet if the signal is good enough to save money. Will it works?
look for fibre optic instead.
You are most welcome in the UK, and I hope your move goes/will go well. Take care
Should I turn power off when I'm not using 🤔
BUY IT! for the monies they sell it - like 1EUR for corporate customers is a bargain. The speed, depending on how dense the population is on the place where you use this R219 :), Vodafone sell it for 1EUR for customers. Everything 5G will cost currently - in 2023 much, much more. Guy did not mention anything about Carrier Aggregation, which is the key to speed on LTE. Use LTEInspecteur to see what your chances are of getting good speeds. Vodafone is using a combination of three radio bands - 800MHz, 1,800MHz and 2,600MHz - so you could theoretically get speeds of up to 375 megabytes per second downloading and 50 megabytes per second sending data. Here we get 120+- megabytes per second downloading and 40+- megabytes per second sending data...
Love this video I’m moving house and internet won’t be setup for another month! Very informative when choosing alternatives thank you!
P.S I think there is a ghost in your house. 21:52-21:55 you can hear a a whisper “hate me”
Whatever this is, I pray you good health friend and please reach out if you ever need to, people like me not too far away
I'm at the end of my sky contract where I'm lucky if I get 20 mps. Would a sim free router and say a smarty sim card be better
can you please recommend one cheap 4G sim router for a less than three digit price tag (
Good videos, Great 4G 5G Router products🎉🎉🎉❤
I jst need that small 1 you picked up for my phone at work 13:05 what's the name of it? How much it cost? Where can I get it from? Do I need to charge it?
Check the description of the video. Shows names and links.
Does it matter the sim card types? Or is it just regular mobile phone sim cards?
What’s the answer ?😂
@@yairperez1803 any data SIM card works. Depends on if the network allows their Sims to be used on the routers. 👍
In my case, the limiting factor was that my first SIM router supported only 32 clients. When you have a big family, everybody with smartphone, smartwatch, tablet, TV, and some smart home applications, etc, you are soon out of range.
I had to update to Archer mr 600, two years ago, with 64 clients max.
"Normal" routers usually do not have this kind of limitation.
You missed somehow talking about this issue, should be topic number 11.
Going down the rabbit hole of Esims for a European trip and have realised that all this will need to be done via my phone and a lot of providers won't even let you tether so all the data is locked in the phone. Do you know if there is a mifi or router that has esim capabilities?
What benefits may an eSIM enabled MiFi/router have for a traveller?
Is it normal that my phone outperforms my router in Ookla speed tests?
Does using a SIM card router give you generally faster upload speeds than the upload speeds you get when using a cell phone's personal hotspot?
Another RUclipsr claims it’s all based on signal and recommended a cell booster antenna. I’m here to help find additional information to back up his theory and also learn more in general.
It depends on the technology of the phone and the router and then cell towers in your area. Which gives a better connection will vary depending on your situation.
Ie 4g vs 5g, mimo (multi antenna /tower connection), and other hardware optimizations that will vary chip to chip.
Then you have signal strength. A router can use an external antenna which can give you a much stronger signal when used correctly. Ie this also comes down to selecting the best antenna for the job. You can have a single focused connection with a parabolic antenna, but it will need to be focused on one tower. Or you can have an omnidirectional antenna / antennas which will be able to connect to towers in multiple directions.
It's not as simple as one is better than the other, and an external antenna may degrade your signal rather than improve it and cell phone technology is constantly improving.
@@robxmccarthy is le or lte?
Multiple users: Many phones won’t support multiple users while in hotspot, but a router would definitely.
Throughput class: a cheaper 5G phone may have a lower data throughput class than a router. As for MiFi, it may actually be not much better than a phone.
In all cases, your SIM tariff would need to allow hotspot.
Yo can I use my phone sim card for this routers
Are there any LTE routers out there that come with its own data bundle?
Yes, it depends. Kind of. So they are in my country. However it is far cheaper to get just a simple pre pay mobile plan and stick the SIM card into your router. It is double the cost to go on a SIM router with a plan. So keep that in mind if you are thinking of going this route.
2.4Ghz has a longer wavelength than 5Ghz because its a lower frequency & less bandwidth is available so it will be slower tha 5Ghz but it can go a bit further than 5Ghz.
My 2.4ghz struggles with internet in some rooms do you think a Wi-Fi extender would improve it ?
Dont use roaming. Get a local sim and swap them out when abroad.
Or when you buy one from EE
Rutx50 honest review.
With 4G+ conection my internet is 0.15 down and 0.1 Up.
Its a worst ever router.
Default and working good configuration is missing.
I was need to learn about every option for find the best missing configuration..
And after 2 years the router internet don't work well as cheap router.
i am not getting good 5g signal home so i am using 4g can i use my 5g sin a 4g router like tp link mr 6400
Absolutely! The system will auto negotiate down to 4G
My was £95.00 from EE I don’t think that’s cheap
My provider will not allow a SIM router on their network.
Esim?
Hello
Mujhe lena hai 5G wifi kitne ka hai
Lol man used his mobile in Germany pmsl I used to live on a base in Holland and Germany. Top unless things changed in the past 20 years if your English and have an English SIM leave it at home. Trust me it cost like fiver a minute to call landline there lol
Isn't it just as easy to hot spot your phone if you have unlimited data....
Could have done without the dialup sounds.
